For the launch of its new Continental GT Speed, Bentley chose a unique test track — an abandoned USAF nuclear missile base in Sicily.

A car built out of revenge, the infamous Breadvan attempted to beat Ferrari’s 250 GTO at its own game. We recount a back story that’s every bit as extraordinary as its design.

We drive Aston Martin’s super-GT flagship – the 725bhp DBS Superleggera – and ask whether it’s sufficiently special to justify its £225,000 UK-market price tag.

The 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Lightweight 964 is a little known motorsport footnote. Can the Leichtbau manage to trump the RS? We take to the track to find out.
